If they make an alder 7 string with a maple or ebony f/b and non-EMG pickups, I'm selling my 7620. I could give a damn what shape it is.

I'd really hope these are neck through too. A soloist would be so great. :shred: If they come out like some of the stars models I've seen then these could be awesome.

ok i have some news on this, the model is going to be a arch top soloist, definitely in hard tail and possibly some trem models, not sure about bolt on or neck-thru, Most likely neck through.

I say this because i also know that the almost all the pro and Mg models will now be available in neck-thru, and those two series will be merged into one

the js/x series will also be updated to American specs, which i comprehend as better pickups and hardware

so it looks like i might be buying a couple Jacksons when these come out

I'm not sure...
That's awesome I've wanted another hardtail and I've always loved soloists, I'm hoping it's a neck through. I really hope they go with a 27" scale but that's a lot to wish for.

well if it's just a soloist flat/arch top that's rather boring although a definite improvement in their line as of late :lol: would love a V though

mmm, Dk2T + neck thru sounds sexy. And the hard tail seven, oh why does shit this always happen. I have money for a new guitar NOW, fuck 1st quarter:wallbash:

I'd find that unlikely at this point. Maybe if these sell well...

I'd be down with a neck through soloist with a trem. Hard tail might even be okay for a backup guitar for the right price. Don't care about color (if the price is right) as long as it's not pink or something :lol:

Who are you hearing this from? It'd be great if it is true, I'd love another Jackson 7, but I don't want to get all excited for nothing.

If its called a Soloist it's going to be neck thru. Thats the difference between a Dinky and a Soloist. Dinkys are always bolt-on.
I'd like a hardtail Soloist, I like hardtails for my 7's because I can use other tuning a lot easier.

Where did you get this info anyway?

A 7 string soloist with an OFR would be nice.
I was playing my SL2H last night for a couple of hours and then picked up my Carvin and then my 7620.
As nice as those both are, the feel of the quality difference just jumped out at me ( as well as the playability) between my Jackson and my other guitars. :shred:

I'll file this under the "believe it when I see it" category, since in all my years playing Jackson, I have constantly been surprised by the company's ability to make disappointing business decisions.
